After excelling with local clubs in the commune, he was spotted by Rennes scout Patrick Rampillon and, subsequently, joined the professional club in July 2007.[4][5]
Foulquier was awarded the Best Academy Player award for the 2009–10 season.[3] After appearing on the bench in matches during the 2010–11 season,[4] he was promoted to the senior team by manager Frédéric Antonetti for the 2011–12 season. Foulquier was assigned the number 24 shirt and made his professional debut on 2 October 2011 in a league match against Lille, starting but being replaced on the half-time in the eventual 0–2 away loss.[6]

Foulquier signed for Watford on 25 August 2017,[10] but was immediately loaned out to Ligue 1 side RC Strasbourg for the remainder of the 2017–18 Season.[11]
On 23 August 2018, Foulquier returned to Spain and its first division after agreeing to a one-year loan deal with Getafe CF.
